Trend: Human Rights Responsibility.

A spotlight currently exists on the issue of transnational corporations’ treatment of individuals in other countries. Specifically, there is a focus on the duty of these corporations to respect the environments in which they operate and use moral conduct when interacting with global citizens. The recent surge in globalization has brought this issue to the forefront of social agendas.

Instructions: Investigate how this trend impacts globally operating organizations. Consider the impact on various global organizational systems and operations, the magnitude of impact on the organizations and stakeholders, and the resulting systemic effects of this influential trend.
